Home testing for hepatitis C
More than 100,000 people in England have now been tested for hepatitis C through the NHS’s confidential home testing service. England is one of the few countries in the world on track to eliminate hepatitis C well before the World Health Organization’s 2030 target, thanks to concerted action by the NHS, public health teams and charities. Latest data shows that 105,998 people have ordered an at-home NHS hepatitis C test, since the portal launched in May 2023.
